Jessica Ahlquist, a 16 year-old Rhode Island
atheist and Harry Potter freak, says her personal space was
violated. She won a suit banning peanutsperfume-

Alan Rosenfeld — a
66-year-old disgraced typing teacher — hasn’t taught since he was
accused of making inappropriate comments and leering at 8th grade
girls in 2001, but still collects $100,049 a year from the city, the
New York Post reports.

Rosenfeld, a millionaire businessman and attorney, could have retired
at 62 but, a friend told the Post, “It’s an F-U” to the school system.
And every year he stays onboard, his $85,400 yearly pension grows by
another $1,700.

His case is one of seven in the New York City Department of Education,
where teachers the department can’t fire are “rubber-roomed” —
essentially meaning they don’t do any real work but keep getting paid.

as well as thousands of items including knives, spoons, forks, towels
and blankets, were squirreled away by the Allied prisoners to aid the
escape plan under the noses of their captors.

It's
famously known that The Guardian newspaper
are wrong about everything, and so too their picks for "The 10 best
last lines - in pictures." But— an easy way to begin another week
of chronicling Barry Soetoro's reign of error and fraud.
